There is nothing better than to watch two elite quarterbacks going against each other and that will be the case when CJ Stroud leads the home Houston Texans against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.

Betting tip and prediction: Houston Texans – Buffalo Bills (06.10.2024)
Both teams have an excellent start to the season and the odds can be as close as it gets as the Bills are a -1-point favorite. Buffalo has been by far the better team between the two in recent years but that gap is not as big as it used to be. CJ Stroud became one of the best quarterbacks in the league in his rookie season and he has made a respectable team out of the Texans. With Tank Dell returning to the lineup for the Texans which makes their offense more dynamic and that give Houston a legit chance in this game. The Texans are the second in the league in QB rating with 113.5 and 30.5 points per game which is more than impressive but at the same time the Bills are better in the majority of the defensive stats. There is no way the Texans will score even close to their season average and with the total point line being set at 47.5, we go with under for this game.
